I know, you're looking at the ripe apples on that tree, but this post is about the over-ripe pickup truck under the apples. Classic cars and trucks are running roughshod over Vancouver's streets -- lots of pickup trucks from in and around the World War II era. A person who knows car stuff tells me there's a big difference between old, and classic. Most of the time that snazzy old truck is a rich boy's toy; a nice way to spend money, and show it off. Real classic cars, apparently, are legit investment vehicles -- they predictably hold, and appreciate value. So is "Rusty" just a fun "fixer-upper," or "money in the bank?" Either way, it looks like this Fairview owner has been saving it for a rainy day a bit too long. Click the images to enlarge them.
